Abstract

Aiming at the challenge of state estimation in the fractional nonlinear discrete stochastic systems, we propose an adaptive fractional higher interpolatory cubature Kalman filter (AFHICKF). We develop the AFHICKF algorithm by using higher-degree interpolatory cubature rules to fulfill the numerical integral computation under the framework of Bayesian fractional filtering. Moreover, the adaptive process of AFHICKF is designed to address the state estimation problem to fractional nonlinear discrete stochastic systems with unknown noise covariance through online covariance estimation. Simulation results on reentry target tracking system verify the effectiveness, adaptiveness and superiority of the proposed filter.
